This is contained in a birthday anniversary message sighted by the informavores!
He said, ‘To My Beloved Comrades and Patriots of the Nigerian Liberty Movements (NLM) Worldwide”
“As I sit to pen these words, my heart swells with immeasurable gratitude, not just for the personal celebration of my birthday, but for the collective triumph we marked—the one-year anniversary of the Nigerian Liberty Movements (NLM). Yesterday was not merely a day of joy; it was a reaffirmation of the purpose we share, the battle we fight, and the future we envision for Nigeria and its people.
“The overwhelming show of love, unity, and unwavering support from every corner of the world reminded me of the sacred duty we have taken upon ourselves—to restore to our people the dignity that has long been stolen, to break the chains of a system designed to suppress, and to light a path toward true national rebirth. Your messages, your calls, and your relentless reaffirmation of our cause have reinforced my belief that we are not just a movement; we are a force of destiny.
“The Journey of NLM: A Testament to Our Collective Will.
“One year ago, we came together not to form another political group, not to add to the chorus of empty voices, but to be a catalyst for real and lasting change. We did not merely launch a movement—we sounded a clarion call that the days of complacency are over. We declared that Nigeria shall no longer be a playground for mediocrity, that governance shall no longer be the private business of a select few, and that liberty shall no longer be an abstract dream but a living reality for all.
“In this past year, we have faced opposition from those who benefit from Nigeria’s broken system. We have been challenged, ridiculed, and threatened. But here we stand, stronger than ever, growing in numbers, deepening in resolve, and moving closer to the day when true liberty will take its rightful place in our land.
“The Significance of Liberty Day: The Dawn of a New Era.
“Yesterday’s celebration was not just about my birth; it was about the birth of an idea that has begun to take root in the consciousness of millions. As we move toward the formal declaration of Liberty Day, we recognize that this is more than just a symbolic event. It is the pronouncement of a new covenant with the Nigerian people—a day that will mark the irreversible break from the shackles of oppression.
“For too long, Nigeria has been trapped in a cycle where leadership is not about service but about plundering. We have watched the rise of rulers, not leaders—men and women who see governance as an entitlement, not a responsibility. This has been our reality for decades, but Liberty Day will stand as a declaration that a new order is here, an order built on accountability, justice, and a leadership that truly belongs to the people.
“My Gratitude As The Torchbearers of This Revolution to You as The Missionaries.
“I cannot express enough appreciation to every single one of you—our members, supporters, and allies who have given your time, energy, and resources to this cause. You are the true heroes of this movement. Some of you have risked your safety, some have sacrificed your personal comfort, and many of you continue to dedicate yourselves selflessly, not for personal gain but for the hope of a liberated nation.
“To our comrades in Nigeria, who bear the brunt of the failed system daily, your resilience is inspiring. You endure hardships not because you accept them, but because you have chosen to fight for something greater than yourselves. To our members in the diaspora, who continue to champion this cause from foreign lands, your voices echo across borders, reminding the world that Nigeria is not without men and women of honor.
“Yesterday’s outpouring of love was not just for me—it was for us, for the ideals we stand for, for the dream we refuse to let die. I am humbled, I am strengthened, and I am more determined than ever because I do not walk alone. We walk together, hand in hand, unyielding and unstoppable.
A Call to Action: The Road Ahead
“My dear comrades, our journey has just begun. One year is a milestone, but it is not the destination. There is much more to be done. The forces of oppression will not yield easily; they will fight with everything they have. But history has shown that no tyranny lasts forever. The will of the people, once awakened, cannot be subdued.
“Let this anniversary serve as a reminder that we are not here to merely exist—we are here to transform. Let our commitment deepen, our strategy sharpen, and our resolve be unbreakable. The battles ahead will require more from us—more courage, more sacrifice, more unity. But make no mistake: we are closer than ever to the tipping point.
“One day soon, we will look back at this moment, not as a mere memory, but as the beginning of Nigeria’s true independence. We shall tell our children that we stood when others bowed, that we fought when others surrendered, and that we prevailed when many doubted.
“Thank you for standing with me. Thank you for standing for the aggrieved members of Nigerian society.
Thank you for believing in Liberty.
“The movement continues. The victory is inevitable.
*With all my love and unwavering commitment.
He concluded.

Easter: Nigeria Must Do Better, NGIJ Warns Amid Rising Insecurity
By AbdulRahman Obaje
The Nigerian Guild of Investigative Journalists (NGIJ) has issued a strongly worded Easter message, condemning worsening insecurity and demanding urgent action from security chiefs. adsbygoogle || []).push({}); [adrotate banner="51"]
In a statement signed by its National President, Abdulrahman Aliagan, and National Secretary, Rowland Olonishuwa, the Guild said Nigeria must confront its security failures without delay.
The Guild congratulated Christians across Nigeria and the world on the Easter celebration, noting that the season crowns weeks of sacrifice, reflection, and spiritual renewal.
It also acknowledged that Muslims recently concluded Ramadan and celebrated Eid al-Fitr, describing both religious observances as powerful symbols of discipline and devotion.
NGIJ said the overlapping spiritual journeys of Christians and Muslims highlight a shared national lesson on unity and peaceful coexistence.
However, the Guild warned that the current security reality contradicts those values, as many communities continue to live in utter dread.
It described the recent killings in Jos as a grim reminder of deep cracks within the nation’s security architecture pointing out that the violence goes beyond headlines, insisting that it reflects systemic failure.
NGIJ condemned the bloodshed in the strongest terms possible and criticised what it called the growing helplessness of authorities. It argued that routine condemnations and post-attack visits by the relevant authorities saddled with the responsibility of securing lives and properties no longer satisfy public expectations.
The statement stressed that repeated promises without visible results only deepen public frustration and grief.
NGIJ maintained that every Nigerian deserves safety at home, in places of worship, and in public spaces while stressing that government must treat that responsibility as a non-negotiable duty.
The Guild urged security chiefs to respond with urgency, intelligence, and clear results. It insisted that those unable to guarantee safety should step aside for more capable leadership.
NGIJ also clarified that its position reflects a moral duty rather than political bias while noting that Easter symbolises sacrifice, accountability, and renewal, adding that real change requires courage and action.
It warned Nigerians against yielding to fear or division despite the tense climate and encouraged citizens to protect unity and resist forces that thrive on chaos.
The Guild reaffirmed its commitment to investigative journalism, promising to pursue truth and hold power accountable. It also pledged to amplify the voices of victims often ignored in national discourse.
NGIJ concluded that hope must translate into action, urging the nation to confront its challenges with urgency.

NGIJ Targets Stronger Democracy Through Partnership with NILDS
By AbdulRahman Obaje
The Nigerian Guild of Investigative Journalists (NGIJ) has sought a strategic partnership with the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) to enhance legislative reporting, strengthen democratic accountability, and promote evidence-based journalism in Nigeria. adsbygoogle || []).push({}); [adrotate banner="51"]
The proposal was made during a courtesy visit by the NGIJ delegation, led by its President, Mallam Abdulrahman Aliagan, to the Institute’s headquarters in Abuja.
The Director-General of NILDS, Professor Abubakar O. Suleiman, was represented at the meeting by the Director of Legal Services, Professor Ibrahim Danwanka. Also in attendance were the Special Adviser to the DG on Media, Mr. Muhammad Abdulkadir and the Director of Information, Mr. Emmanuel Atakpo.
Speaking during the visit, Aliagan described the engagement as a strategic step toward building synergy between investigative journalism and legislative research institutions. He commended the leadership of Professor Suleiman for transforming NILDS into a leading centre for legislative studies and democratic governance in Africa.
“This visit is not merely ceremonial—it is deeply strategic. NGIJ and NILDS share a common vision of strengthening democracy, promoting accountability, and deepening good governance in Nigeria,” Aliagan said.
He explained that while NILDS advances democratic governance through research and legislative capacity development, NGIJ complements these efforts through investigative journalism and public-interest reporting.
Aliagan highlighted the Guild’s activities across the country, particularly its Governance Assessment Visits conducted in Kogi, Bayelsa, Ondo, Kwara, Osun, and Kaduna states, noting that such engagements have improved public discourse and strengthened accountability at the subnational level.
“Our mission is to promote ethical investigative journalism, strengthen transparency in governance, and build capacity for data-driven reporting that connects citizens with democratic institutions,” he said.
The NGIJ President also proposed collaboration in areas such as training on legislative processes, joint research and publications, policy dialogues, data sharing, and fellowship programmes for journalists and researchers.
He further informed the Institute of the Guild’s plan to host the Dele Giwa Memorial Annual Lecture on Investigative Journalism in June as part of activities marking Democracy Day. The Guild requested that Professor Suleiman serve as keynote speaker and sought approval to use NILDS’ auditorium for the event.
“We are confident that your presence and intellectual contribution will greatly enrich the discourse and lend national significance to the event,” Aliagan added.
Responding on behalf of the Director-General, Professor Danwanka welcomed the proposal and described the initiative as timely and beneficial to national development. He commended NGIJ for its commitment to accountability journalism and its recognition of the Institute’s growing impact.
“If there is any institution journalists need to collaborate with, it is NILDS.
Legislative reporting requires specialised knowledge that many journalists currently lack,” Danwanka said.
He explained that NILDS was established by an Act of Parliament in 2011 and later expanded in 2017 to include broader responsibilities covering democratic institutions and civil society organisations.
According to him, the Institute has grown significantly under Professor Suleiman’s leadership, expanding from four departments to eleven, with increased staff strength and wider national, regional, and continental visibility.
Danwanka noted that NILDS currently provides research and capacity-building support not only to Nigeria’s legislature but also to parliaments across West Africa and other parts of the continent, including Kenya, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Ghana, and Togo.
“Legislature is a specialised field. Even experts from other disciplines must acquire knowledge of its processes to report it accurately. That is where NILDS comes in,” he said.
He assured the NGIJ delegation that all requests presented during the visit, including collaboration proposals, the use of the Institute’s facilities, and the invitation to the DG would be communicated for necessary action.
Danwanka also acknowledged NGIJ’s commendation of the appointment of Mr. Abdulkadir as Special Adviser on Media, describing the recognition as thoughtful and well-deserved.
The meeting ended with both parties expressing optimism about establishing a formal framework for collaboration, with a shared commitment to strengthening democratic institutions and improving governance through knowledge-driven journalism.
“This engagement marks the beginning of a sustainable partnership that will advance legislative excellence and investigative journalism in Nigeria,” Danwanka said.

NGIJ urges unity, cautions politicians against divisive rhetoric ahead of 2027
The Nigeria Guild of Investigative Journalism (NGIJ) has called on Nigerians to embrace peaceful coexistence and warned political actors against exploiting religious and ethnic divisions as the country gradually approaches the 2027 general elections. adsbygoogle || []).push({}); js"> [adrotate banner="51"]
In a statement issued on Friday to mark the 2026 Eid al-Fitr celebration, and jointly signed by its National President, Malam Abdulrahman Aliagan, and National Secretary, Rowland Olonishuwa, the Guild congratulated Muslim faithful on the successful completion of Ramadan.
The Guild noted that this year’s Ramadan coincided with the Christian Lenten season, describing the alignment as a “rare and powerful symbolism” that underscores shared values across faiths.
According to the statement, both periods called for reflection, sacrifice, discipline, and compassion, stressing that such common ideals should serve as a foundation for national unity.
“For weeks, across mosques and churches, Nigerians prayed, fasted, gave to the needy, and sought a better version of themselves. If we can endure hardship together in pursuit of spiritual growth, then we can certainly live together in peace,” the Guild said.
However, NGIJ expressed concern over rising tensions in the country, warning that differences are increasingly being weaponised, particularly along religious and ethnic lines.
The Guild emphasised that the lessons of Ramadan and Lent should not end with celebrations but must be reflected in citizens’ daily conduct, urging Nigerians to embrace patience, empathy, and truth in their interactions.
While addressing the political class, the organisation cautioned against early signs of divisive campaigning ahead of the 2027 elections, including the spread of misinformation and fear-based rhetoric.
“We are already seeing early signs of the familiar playbook, divisive rhetoric, calculated misinformation, and appeals to fear rather than reason. That path is dangerous and ultimately destructive,” the statement read.
NGIJ urged politicians, political parties, and aspirants to focus on issue-based campaigns, particularly on the economy, security, and governance, rather than resorting to identity politics.
It warned that power gained through division could undermine national stability, stressing that Nigeria cannot afford another election cycle that deepens societal fractures.
The Guild also reaffirmed its commitment to accountability and responsible journalism, pledging to continue challenging false narratives and exposing misinformation.
“A peaceful and informed society requires citizens who think critically and reject manipulation,” it added.
The statement concluded by describing Eid al-Fitr as not only a moment of celebration but also a test of collective responsibility, urging Nigerians to choose unity over division in the interest of national progress.
